Torchlight II is Now Available

Runic Games action RPG sequel to Torchlight, Torchlight II is finally now available to digital download from Steam. It costs £14.99 which is quite cheap but I feel is still over priced for what is essential Torchlight with added multiplayer.

Of course there’s more and I will definitely be playing it but there’s no extras for that cost. Sure a boxed version is worth the price but a digital game should be cheaper. At least the soundtrack is free to download which I mention yesterday and you can read about below.

From steampowered.com: “The award-winning action RPG is back, bigger and better than ever! Torchlight II takes you back into the quirky, fast-paced world of bloodthirsty monsters, bountiful treasures, and sinister secrets – and, once again, the fate of the world is in your hands!”

“Torchlight II captures all the flavor and excitement of the original game – while expanding the world and adding the features players wanted most, including online and LAN co-op multiplayer. Torchlight II is fast, fun, and filled to the brim with action and loot. Adventure solo or online with your friends!”

Torchlight II Features:

Multiplayer– Play co-op with your friends via LAN or over the Internet for free. No subscriptions, no item sales. Our new matchmaking service lets you find friends, start new games, and join existing games. And, as always, you can play single-player offline as well.

Customizable Characters– Players will create and customize a character from one of four brand new classes. Each class can be played as either male or female, with customized cosmetic features and looks to make each individual character stand out. All new skills and loot give loads of opportunity for unique character builds.

Moddability – TorchED, the Torchlight II editor, will give players the ability to create their own mods, adding even more content to the world. Have your friends download the same mod and play together.

New User Interface– Torchlight II boasts a new and improved user interface, designed to be easier than ever for new players to pick up and play. This intuitive interface ensures you can focus on playing the game the way you want to.

Open World– We’re not only in the town of Torchlight anymore! Explore vast overland areas and multiple hub towns, fight through rain, snow, day and night. Our level randomization ensures new layouts, paths, loot, and monsters every time you play.

New Game Plus– In New Game Plus, the game’s not over until you say it is. Once you’ve beaten Torchlight II’s primary campaign, you can start again with the same character for a significantly greater challenge. You’ll keep all of the skills, gold, and gear you worked so hard for!

Pets & Fishing – These popular features make their return in Torchlight II in improved form. More choices, better effects, and your pet will still make the run to town to sell your loot so you don’t have to.

Runic Games team have said that its next project will likely not be another Torchlight game or a Torchlight MMO that has been talked about even before the first game came out which is pretty disappointing. The MMO market is one of the worst to invest into at the moment, you need a lot of money in other words.

Forget Diablo III just play Torchlight II its probably more fun and costs less.
